Realistically from reading your post the only recourse you have is a judgement for trespassing against the police dept for towing your vehicle from your property. There are legal aid groups that help with simple claims to do it yourself.
The main thing is you need an emergency injunction to prevent the sale or auction of the bike. Honestly you’re going to need a lawyer.

It was on the street, back to the curb. It was county beauty maintenance that had it towed. Had the little 1"sq. sticker that you couldn't see from the street been current, it would have been okay.

I haven't been able to find anyone who will talk to me yet.

I'm still trying to find out what the rules are for the county or the tow yard. Neither ever notified me that it had been towed six weeks earlier. I found out when I called to report it stolen.
 
Do you work in Virginia? Do you have any customers who are lawyers? I always had lawyers, doctors, engineers, managers, etc. as customers. I was never shy about asking them questions - and I don't remember any of them refusing to answer.
 
So sorry about this.
A friend lost his Z1 years back due to impound fees. A potential buyer ran off with it on a 'test ride'. He filed a theft report and didn't hear from it for nearly two years. Memphis police called and reported they had found the bike so he flew up to pick it up. Turns out it had been 'found' on the street just two weeks after it was reported as stolen. Almost two years worth of impound fees at $20 a day....cash only. $20 a day for 660 days. The bike had been 'stored' in their outdoor parking lot and was in miserable shape.
Likely they still have it.
Sometimes the inept, don't give a unowhat admin can be a greater problem than a crime.

Ok, then it's time for networking. You have to have friends, acquaintances, colleagues, or folks on this forum that you know who can recommend a good lawyer who can help you. Most lawyers (lets leave out those who charge $500+ an hour) offer a free consultation to decide if you really need them and if they want to handle the case. You could even go to a municipal judge and ask them who they would go to for a small case, without revealing the specifics. I used to ask building inspectors who they would hire to do certain work. That's different than asking for a referral, but it gets around the referral prohibition. Then I'd tell my customers who had asked me what I learned and how I learned it. This situation is dragging on and if you don't deal with it you will lose.
